[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 756619, member: 24721"] Hello all! Thanks so much for your lovely messages. I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you. I've been so busy due to the pandemic. I am an author and I have a new book coming out next month. I was supposed to go on a national tour to promote the book but now that can't happen. My publicist is madly trying to book alternatives - like podcasts, radio spots etc. I've had to write and record a lot of additional content for promotion, which I really hadn't anticipated. Add to that, my husband, my youngest son and I and are all at high risk for the virus. Youngest son and I are in self isolation, but hubby works in an essential service so is still going to work. He's taking all the precautions, but I am very worried that he will get it - and give it to us! I'm spending a LOT of time cleaning and disinfecting! Difficult Child is also high risk - he's an asthmatic - but of course he's not following the guidelines properly. Happy to say that I haven't really worried too much about that - what he does is out of my hands. The move went well. There are now three of them living in the house and sharing the rent, which is good because it makes it more affordable for them. So many people are out of work here because of the pandemic and it's only going to get worse. We are fully expecting at least one of the boys in the house will lose their job, but they seem confident that they will be able to afford the rent for at least the next few months. We haven't said so, but we will decrease the rent to make it affordable for them if any of them are stood down from their jobs due to the virus. Of course we can't do that forever, but while things are in strict lockdown we will be accommodating. I have to say, I'm so happy to have him out of the house. We immediately cleaned his room and put a guest bed in there. It looks lovely and it makes me happy every time I walk past it. Instead of a smelly, dark room where the blinds were always drawn and the door shut, it's now light and airy. Of course the worry of Difficult Child hasn't completely disappeared, but I am feeling SO much better mentally than when he was here. We are not seeing very much of him - the virus has actually helped us to maintain boundaries - but we have been in contact via phone. So far (it's only been a week!) all is going well.
